Role of Independent Mortgage Broker

Choosing a mortgage broker is one of the most important decisions in the mortgage process. The right choice can affect both the success of your application and the total cost over the life of your mortgage.

A whole of market mortgage broker compares hundreds of products from across the market. This means you get access to a wider choice and better deals than going directly to one lender. With such a broad range available, a good broker can find suitable options for almost any situation. Furthermore, they are more likely to uncover specialist deals that most buyers would never find on their own. The result is time saved and a mortgage suited specifically to your circumstances.

Which Lenders do we deal with?

Our panel includes all the main high street banks and building societies — Halifax, Santander, Natwest, Barclays, Nationwide, HSBC, Accord, Coventry and many more. Beyond those, we also work with a large number of smaller specialist lenders and building societies.

Complex income situations require specialist lender knowledge. For instance, income from a second job, working as a seafarer, or contracting through an umbrella company all have very specific lender requirements. Getting that match right is often the difference between an approval and a decline.
